Re: Emacs crashes

[Richard Stallman]

Below are all the C-level changes in the past 14 days that are not
specific to Windows or MacOS, and that are before the point at which
Handa reports his Emacs was compiled.  There are not very many of
them.

So that means people could try reverting one of these changes and see
if the crashes stop.  If we try each of them, and record which ones
have been tried, we should find which one it is.

If you try reverting one of these changes and still get a crash,
please put a note into src/ChangeLog saying "Checked DATE YOURNAME"
on a line just after the header line.

It would also be useful if people make a checkout of the March 1 sources
and edit with them for a while, to verify that they indeed do not crash.

2006-03-02  Kim F. Storm  <address@hidden>

        * frame.h (struct frame): New member n_tool_bar_rows.

        * xdisp.c: Minimize the unpleasent visual impact of the requirement
        that non-toolkit tool-bars must occupy an integral number of screen
        lines, by distributing the rows evenly over the tool-bar screen area.
        (Vtool_bar_border): New variable.
        (syms_of_xdisp): DEFVAR_LISP it.
        (display_tool_bar_line): Add HEIGHT arg for desired row height.
        Make tool-bar row the desired height.  Use default face for border
        below tool-bar.
        (tool_bar_lines_needed): Add N_ROWS arg.  Use it to return number of
        actual tool-bar rows.
        (redisplay_tool_bar): Calculate f->n_tool_bar_rows initially.
        Adjust the height of the tool-bar rows to fill tool-bar screen area.
        (redisplay_tool_bar): Calculate f->n_tool_bar_rows when tool-bar area

        * search.c (Fregexp_quote): Do not precede a literal `]' with two
        backslashes to try to make clear that it has a literal meaning; it
        does not do that.  (It could close a character alternative
        containing a backslash.)
